Question tags, Indirect questions

Question tags

Positive verb, negative tag	Negative verb, positive tag

You're Polish, aren't you?	You aren't happy, are you?
They live in Ankara, don't they?	They don't smoke, do they?
The match finishes at 8.00, doesn't it?	She doesn't eat meat, does she?
She worked in a bank, didn't she?	You didn't like the film, did you?
We've met before, haven't we?	She hasn't been to Rome before, has she?
You'll be OK, won't you?	You won't tell anyone, will you?

Question tags are often used to check something you already think is true.
To form a question tag use:
the correct auxiliary verb.
a pronoun
a negative tag if the sentences is positive, ans a positive tag if the sentence is negative.


Indirect questions

Direct question	Indirect question
Where's the bank?	Could you tell me where the bank is?
What time do the shops close?	Do you know what time the shops close?
Is there a bus stop near here?	Do you know if there's a bus stop near here?
Does this train go to Victoria?	Could you tell me if this train goes to Victoria?

To make a question more polite we often begin Could you tell me...? or Do you know...? The word order changes to subject + verb. Do you know where the bus station is?
If the question begins with an auxiliary verb, add if after Could you tell me...?/Do you know...?
We also use this structure after Can you remember...?

Third Conditional

Third Conditional sentences:
If + had + past participle, would + have + past participle.

Use third conditional sentences to talk about a hypothetical/imaginary situation in the past (which didn't happen) and its consequence.
Compare:
Yesterday, I got up late and missed my bus. (= the real situation)
If I hadn't got up late yesterday, I wouldn't have missed my bus. (= the hypothetical/imaginary situation)
To make a third conditional, use if + past perfect and would + have + past participle.
The contraction of had is 'd.
You wouldn't have been late if you'd got up earlier.
